US EditionHouse Republicans cut green programs, boost fossil fuels in budget bill
- House Republicans introduced a budget reconciliation bill in May 2025 to cut green subsidies and increase fossil fuel support in the United States.
- The bill follows the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act but aims to cancel up to $6.5 billion in unspent climate funding while promoting fossil fuel permitting.
- The legislation includes repeals and delays of key environmental programs such as the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and methane reduction initiatives.
- Rep. Frank Pallone described the bill as a “pay to play scheme,” where polluters can pay $10 million to bypass environmental scrutiny, while Republicans claim it enforces permitting laws.
- Critics warn the bill will increase pollution, harm climate resilience programs, and raise energy bills, effectively prioritizing fossil fuels over clean energy investments.
